If I Were A Voice
If I were a voice, a persuasive voice,
That could travel the wide world through,
I would fly on the beams of the morning light,
And speak to men with a gentle might,
And tell them to be true.
I’d fly, I’d fly, o’er land and sea,
Wherever a human heart might be,
Telling a tale, or singing a song,
In praise of the right – in blame of the wrong.
II.
If I were a voice, a consoling voice,
I’d fly on the wings of air,
The homes of Sorrow and Guilt I’d seek,
And calm and truthful words I’d speak
To save them from Despair.
I’d fly, I’d fly, o’er the crowded town,
And drop, like the happy sun-light, down
Into the hearts of suffering men,
And teach them to rejoice again.
III.
If I were a voice, a convincing voice,
I’d travel with the wind,
And whenever I saw the nations torn
By warfare, jealousy, or scorn,
If I were a voice, a convincing voice,
I ‘d travel with the wind,
And whenever I saw the nations torn
By warfare, jealousy, or scorn,
Or hatred of their kind,
I’d fly, I’d fly, on the thunder-crash,
And into their blinded bosoms flash;
And, all their evil thoughts subdued,
I’d teach them Christian Brotherhood.
IV.
If I were a voice, a pervading voice,
I’d seek the kings of Earth;
I’d find them alone on their beds at night
And whisper words that should guide them right
Lessons of priceless worth;
I’d fly more swift than the swiftest bird,
And tell them things they never heard
Truths which the ages for aye repeat
Unknown to the statesmen at their feet.
V.
If I were a voice, an immortal voice,
I’d speak in the people’s ear;
And whenever they shouted ‘Liberty,’
Without deserving to be free,
I’d make their error clear.
I’d fly, I’d fly, on the wings of day,
Rebuking wrong on my world-wide way,
And making all the Earth rejoice-
If I were a voice-an immortal voice.
BRING ME TO LIFE
A bead of water glistens on my palm
As I stepped on watery fields of sadness
I’ m dying, like a flower
That longing for a little falls of rain
Frozen inside
I could hardly breathe
Bring me to life
Let you be my strength in the odd that never ends.
As I touched the sky I see, the angels smile
But my wings are broken
I am fallen
My soul is tracking against the wind
I can’t fly
I’m drowning in the ocean of tears
Just like broken dreams
That is turn into pieces
My voice echoed on the silence of a sea
My throat is parch
No words slip on my lips
Even the wind can’t hear my mournful grief
A tuneful poem that I am trying to sing
But nobody wants to listen
Bring me to life
Let you be my voice in this world of deaf
My heart melts
Like a candle, soften under the sun
My body shivers as I glance at the doom
A dark shadow surrounded on me
Here I am seeking for the light I wanted to see
I was so blind
Bring me to life
Be the light as the sun rises on east

The Champion by Carman
In the vast expanse of a timeless place
Where Silence ruled the outer space
Ominously towering it stood
The symbol of a spirit war
Between the one named Lucifer, and the Morningstar, the ultimate of good.
Enveloped by a trillion planets
Clean as lightning, and hard as granite
A cosmic coliseum would host the end,
Of the war between the lord of sin and death
And the omnipotent creator of man's first breath
Who will decide, who forever will be.....
The audience for the fight of the ages was assembled and in place.
The angels came in splendor from a star.
The saints that had gone before were there, Jeremiah, Enoch, Job.
They were singing the song of Zion on David's harp.
The demons arived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God
Followed by their trophies dead and gone.
Hitler, Napoleon, Pharoh, Capone, tormented, vexed, and grieved
And waiting for their judgment from the throne.
Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd
And the demons squealed with glee
As a sorid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt.
Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud,
Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell.
Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned, the demons reeled in pain
As as swell of power like silent thunder rolled.
With a surge of light beyond intense illuminating the universe,
In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God.
Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire appeared in center ring.
God the Father will oversee the duel.
Opening the Book of Life, each grand stand hushed in awe
As majestically he said, "Now, here's the rules:
He'll be wounded for their transgressions, bruised for iniquities."
When he said, "By His stripes they're healed," the devil shook.
He said, "Sickness is my specialty - I hate that healing junk."
God said, "You shut your face - I wrote the book."
Then the Father looked at His only son and said,
"You know the rules. Your blood will cleanse their sin and calm their fears."
Then he pointed His finger at Satan and said,
"And I know you know the rules,
You've been twisting them to deceive my people for years."
Satan cried, "I'll kill you Christ! You will never win this fight."
The demons wheezed, "That's right, there ain't no way."
Satan jeered, "You're dead meat Jesus, I'm gonna bust you up tonight."
Jesus said, "Go ahead, make my day!"
The bell, the crowd, the fight was on, and the Devil leaped in fury.
With all his evil tricks he came undone.
He threw his jabs of hate and lust, a stab of pride and envy,
But the hands that knew no sin blocked every one.
Forty days and nights they fought and Satan couldn't touch Him.
Now the final blow saved for the final round.
Prophetically Christ's hands came down and Satan struck in vengeance.
The blow of death fell Jesus to the ground.
The devils roared in victory, the saints shocked and perplexed
As wounds appeared upon His hands and feet.
The Satan kicked Him in His side and blood and water flowed
And they waited for the ten count of defeat.
God the Father turned His head. His tears announcing Christ was dead.
The ten count would proclaim the battle's end.
The Satan trembled through his sweat in unexpected horror yet,
As God started the count by saying, "...10..."
Hey wait a minute God,
"...9..."
Stop, you're counting wrong,
"...8..."
His eyes are moving...
"...7..."
His fingers are twitching...
"...6..."
Where's all this light coming from...
"...5..."
He's alive
"...4..."
Oh no...
"...3...2..."
Oh yes
He has won!
He has won!
He's alive forevermore, He is risen, He is Lord.
He has won!
He has won!
He's alive forevermore, He has risen, He is Lord.
Proclain the news in every tongue, through endless ages and beyond.
Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong,
Captivity has been set free, salvation bought for you and me,
Cause Satan is defeated and Jesus is THE CHAMPION!
